Multi-tile furniture (for multi-tile creatures)
« on: February 16, 2022, 07:01:50 am »

Multi-tile creatures are in the plans, as well as multi-tile cages and traps apparently...

But what about just plain old furniture? Where are the poor giants going to sit if they can't make a chair bigger than 1 tile?! Same goes for the likes of elephant men, or any multi-tile creature one would expect to use furniture.

And frankly, some kind of system similar to armor and weapon sizes would probably make sense for even one-tile furniture too (should a tiger man really be able to fit in a chair made by dwarves? Or a dwarf practically dine at a table made for pixies?).

Same goes for other "furniture-like" things like doors; giants wouldn't build houses with tiny doors they have to crouch or crawl to fit through (if they could fit at all).

In all honesty, even dwarves could realistically make use of giant doors or floodgates or what-have you, even if not trying to accommodate large creatures (or boats), they could use it just for style, or in the case of floodgates, allow more liquid to go through (you could use drawbridges instead, but it's kind of weird to use drawbridges like that).
